Types Of Clocks Which Have Actually Measured Time Dilation


Recommended Posts

Sorry for the delayed response, I am reviewing this nightmare of a thread.

Wouldn't it be possible to launch tiny probes that return so we could actually test the twins paradox. Load probes with things that decay, launch them under different parameters and test the decay uopn return. Has anyone done anything remotely like this?

Yes.  Please read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafele%E2%80%93Keating_experiment

Just got round to reading the Wiki article. It's rather good. I had not realised so many determinations had been made. But in view of the remarks at the end about GPS, I suppose it was important to be sure.
